Printer Model Selection

The hardest part is probably the “Printer Model Selection”. In former years the situation was difficult, because there were hardly any drivers to find. The difficulty now is there are too many; though some of them are very good, many are quite broken.

If you have a current “database” of available drivers on your system, select the manufacturer in the left part of the window first, then the device model in the right part. This split window shows all PPDs found by CUPS in its standard repository of installable PPDs. This repository normally is /usr/share/cups/model/. If you want your driver to be found automatically by CUPS and TDEPrint, place it in there.
